Beer 249 - Blue Dawg Wild Blue (4 stars out of 5 for a fun drink)

Brewed and bottled by Blue Dawg Brewing, a brand name of Anheuser-Busch, at Anheuser-Busch In Bev brewery in Baldwinsville, NY.  Bought at HEB in Cinco Ranch and drunk at home with Saturday lunch.

The web site says: "Wild Blue is a blueberry lager that fuses the juice of nature’s perfect fruit – blueberries – with premium American and German hops, two row and six-row barley malt and cereal grains. Wild Blue has a full taste with a pleasant blueberry aroma and flavor, and contains 8 percent alcohol by volume (ABV).
Its fun, irreverent spirit is conveyed in every aspect of the beer, from the bottle label that features a bulldog kicking a blueberry to its full-bodied taste. Wild Blue is the perfect drink for adults who are thirsting for something new and will be available in sleek 12-ounce amber glass bottles."

Purists will no doubt call me crazy for giving a blueberry flavored malt beverage a score of 4 out of 5 in what is supposed to be a beer review.  Wild Blue is made from hops, barley, yeast and water to create a beer mash, then blueberries are added to create a delicious, light, easy to drink, fruit beer. I liked the drink, a great idea for washing down ice cream or pie and custard.
